‘I Have Been Stubborn About Marriage, I Will Just Have A Child’ –BBNaija Star, Lucy Edet Sets The Record Straight On Her Life Choices

Former BBNaija housemate, Lucy Edet has opened up about her plans to give birth to a child while waiting on the right partner to settle down with.

The 31-year-old who is currently single and without a child emphasizes giving up on marriage as she intends to opt for a baby mama.

According to Lucy in an interview with Saturday Beats, the pressure to get married does not bother her for a second and that she’s not crazy about marriage as she used to.

The reality star also added that her mother has given up on her getting married because she has been very stubborn about it.

In her words:

“I am turning 32 in April. I have been very stubborn about it (marriage) and my mother has come to accept that marriage may not be for me.

Perhaps, I will just have a child. She (mother) told me two days ago that I should just produce a child and I laughed.

Pressure for marriage isn’t for me because I am more concerned about connecting and living happily with the right person. Until I am able to build my life around that person, I don’t think I want to settle down.

“If I feel pressured to get married, I could have done that since I used to be crazy about marriage; but not anymore.”

Lucy, who has often been accused of reducing her age, insists on telling the truth,

“People should leave me alone because it is my age and my choice. I feel it is society that has caused that because many people reduce their ages just to get jobs or to be accepted in the society. But, that has never made sense to me. I have always stuck with my real age.

“I don’t see why someone’s thoughts about me should bother me. As long as you are speaking the truth, I won’t be angry about it. However, I have issues with people making up stories. I have heard so many things about me that shocked me.”

Speaking on her latest projects, the ex-BBNaija housemate stated,

“I still run my grill business from home. Also, I have done a grill show which is yet to be aired. One the show, I grill for celebrities who give their honest opinion about it, and we have other conversations. I have done two movies so far and I am hoping to open a physical space for my business soon.”
